Brown Of Melbourne became ! i.
tinguished man in the eyes Of tho a.
tleman, who had twice heard hjsn,ss e.
es sung by so able critics, but he ",
still to hear of him again. One eysa
ing several years ago, while dinin,
with the Savage ciab in London vbs,
Byron, author OF the comedy Of a0r
Boys" w. S. Gilbert and Other ooaa
takers were at the table, a BATH 4
words took place between Robertson
the author OF School and aCastss
and another gentleman possessing ro
mean powers of repartee. Nv frIed
was greatly pleased with what heheari
and expressed his admiration Of tn
brightness OF the speakers to gentle
man sitting next to him. "Yes," sad
the Englishman, ''they talk well, but
we had a queer chap here from tn
provinces once that made them an
look to their laurels. He was BY lon
odds the most brilliant fellow era
heard talk. His name was Brownani
he came from Melbourne" 1t is not
unnatural for three people even d
wide experience to agree on the SAM
novelist, actor or singer, but it struck
roe that the story was interesting i
only as a coincidence, and though
Brown of Melbourne has not yet visit
ed this country.
